About this edition
Faber & Faber, Limited's special of Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro is author signed, slipcase, foil boards, printed boards, cloth bound and gilt edges. Hardcover format, listed at $120.00 by Folio Society and in stock now.
A tender work of science fiction and a nuanced meditation on artificial intelligence, Klara and the Sun takes place in a reality much like our own, except for two things: genetically ‘lifted’ children and Artificial Friends. It is set in a world growing alienated from humanity.
From her spot in the shop window, Klara, an Artificial Friend, watches the world go by, hoping to be chosen. When she is, her world opens up in ways she could never have predicted. The story is an exploration of what it means to love, to believe, and to belong. Through Klara’s curious, clear-eyed gaze, the narrative examines questions about humanity, hope, and what makes a heart beat.
